I am wondering, whether v3 should consist basically only of
patches 2 and 3, i. e. the minimal approach, or if you would
take all of them?

If you prefer the minimal version, I would make another patch
set out of the other patches. But as there seems to be no official
maintainer for list related functionality, I would appreciate
some hints who I should put on the TO/CC list.

Regards
Jan
